Managing Bird Allergies

Managing bird allergies involves identifying triggers, such as bird feathers, droppings, or dust, and minimizing exposure. Keeping living areas clean, using air purifiers, and ensuring good ventilation can help reduce allergens. Regularly washing hands after handling birds and avoiding close contact are also important. Over-the-counter antihistamines may relieve symptoms like sneezing or itching. For severe cases, consult a healthcare professional for potential treatments, including corticosteroids or allergy shots. Understanding your specific triggers and taking proactive steps can significantly improve quality of life for those sensitive to bird allergens.
